This uncut half-hour unsold TV pilot, as televised on network TV, was developed, written, and produced by SNL alums Conan O'Brien and Robert Smigel. The premise of this dry-humor half-hour show has Adam West playing a has-been actor, Ty Lookwell, of decades-past acclaim for starring in the TV detective drama, "Bannigan." The humor of this show lies with the aspects of Lookwell being so full-of-himself as an actor; where, despite his ineptness, he thinks he's a detective pro on par as his Bannigan character was.The show also reminds TV viewers that the 1970s saw a proliferation of TV detective/crime dramas, as the dialogue in this show will bear-out.Supporting cast:Ron FrazierAnn WeldonTodd FieldsBart BravermanDeborah RichterBrian BradleyJeff AustinChris BarnesJohn CapodiceMolly CleatorBrick KarnesSal LopezJohn RiggiSteve SchubertDirected by E.
